Beyond Authority will focus on the composition and transmission of texts and traditions in Late Antiquity. We intend to dismantle the regnant presumption that late antique tradents compose and transmit texts for the primary purpose of asserting and maintaining authority. The conference will be held March 20-22 at Princeton University, and is free and open to the public. Please register at http://religion.princeton.edu/beyondauthority
